Abstract

The LEADERMART System and the service it provides are the product of a coordinated three-phased development project conducted at Lehigh University with National Science Foundation support. The service comprises a user-oriented, multi-optioned information retrieval system featuring innovative as well as standard retrieval techniques. Its available online data bases include nearly one half million documents derived from COMPENDEX, CAS Condensates, and various other document sets, oriented toward the transdisciplinary use of science and engineering information.The service also provides the user with special services which greatly expand his ability to control his information environment as desired or required. Built-in evaluation and feedback mechanisms also insure the most effective results relative to the user's needs over a given period of time.Finally, the possibility of expanding the LEADERMART System and Service into major/minor information nodes offers the user a maximum degree of flexibility and information coverage without modification of his information searching patterns.
